Opera has always been on the top of the list for me. I appreciate the super fast history (flipping back and forth between pages) --- why IE8 or even Firefox does not go with this is waaaay beyond me.
It's like Microsoft Outlook Express or Outlook that refuses to allow a solid line to the left of replies in their mail to be broken (and Eudora always has) - so IE8 or not so good browsers such as Firefox that refuses to adopt this feature has me scratching my forehead as to why not.
Anyway, I think if you're not going to adopt IE8, then go with Opera for sure. A way better browser!

Opera 10 actually has a built in add blocker. When a page has loaded, you right-click and hit block content - from there you can select which elements to block.

It works great for pages you visit regularly, but not so good for new pages since it still lets new adds through first.

Overall it's got some nice features, but is still a bit rough around the edges in places.

Yeah I know about that. But, I've found that a couple on a couple of my regular sites, the ads either cannot be marked as something to block, or still show up even when I block them.

Have you tried adding th URL of these ad sites into the block list? I think adding them once makes it universal for all sites you visit:

But you're right, it's just not as convenient Adblock Plus.

Thanks, I added those. It took care of a few of the ads I'm seeing, but some still persist on other sites.

Also, some sites leave empty gray boxes where the ads were before, which is almost just as bad ><

The other thing with Opera for those coming from Firefox who used AutoCopy, unless you love triple clicking the mouse to copy a line to the clipboard, you need one of those mouse monitor hotkey programs that auto copy selected text. Unless some miracle happened and Opera 10 now has an AutoCopy feature.
